Build with dual CPU and AliExpress MOBO, but limited to 7 RAM slots?
PC Configuration: Processor: Dual-core Intel E5-2660 V2 Memory: Tested two distinct ECC configurations (functional on other platforms) - 8x32GB 8500R (model: M393B4G70AM0) + 8x16GB 8500R (model: M393B2K70CM0) Power Supply: 1300W Graphics: RX580 (16GB variant, also available from AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680578...cV8eaerxdc) Motherboard: JGINYUE x79- D8 Server v1.1 (available at: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680431...4itemAdapt – Main Concern: Upon attempting to install all eight RAM modules, the system failed to boot and displayed an error code 67. Removing RAM from either the upper or lower slots resolved the issue. It appears both slots are incompatible simultaneously. I reached out to several AliExpress sellers for clarification, but most advised using ECC RAM. Since this matches my setup and all slots work independently, I’m puzzled—could another form of ECC RAM be required? I’ve attempted similar configurations before and encountered the same problem. Eventually, I gave up and had another user install it with only the top slots filled.**
The documentation mentions two configurations: 4 memory slots or 8 sockets with 4 channels. The label suggests they are interchangeable for placement options. The printed text on the motherboard appears to be legible, though specific details aren't provided.
It’s understandable you’re confused—what you see might not match what’s advertised. The spec sheet likely shows the maximum capacity, while the board itself doesn’t display it. Just because there are slots doesn’t mean they’re all active or labeled clearly.
Based on my past experiences with these AliExpress listings, they often don’t perform as expected. I’d really appreciate more assistance, especially since I’ve faced similar problems with RAM before.
